@TheCrownedMan You know what no one tells you about?
When your hamstring cramps up just when you’re getting close. Happened to me twice in the last 6 months.
Agony
@TheXMatriarch God yeah.
Been together 24 years and it’s been really difficult later on and I don my know for certain she rally wants me, but I’ve never stopped wanting her.
Yeah, loads of women out there are hot, but I only want her.
@TheXMatriarch Defensiveness and criticism.
I’ve definitely been told “you’re way too sensitive” when I’ve been criticized.
A bit of you dies each time.
If I bring it up now, I need to prove that on a specific occasion, I wasn’t oversensitive, she was being unfair.
You can’t win
@AndToddsaid I’d never had a girlfriend before, so it felt scary to say.
However, it’s a core standard I have that I will not stay where I’m not wanted and there are no 2nd chances from that type of betrayal.
I think that boundary DOES actually provide security. We know where we stand
@AndToddsaid My now wife tried this when we first started going out.
She asked if she kissed someone else or went on a date, would I fight for her?
I told her no. I won’t fight for someone to choose me again if you go elsewhere.
@dadstartingover My wife got SO annoyed that I knew exactly how many times we had had sex in a year 4.5yr stretch. Think she hoped I wouldn’t, maybe so she could gaslight me.
It was impossible not to.
We used condoms and I know I bought 20 in 2021 and the 12 left in the box expired in 2025.

@BrianAtlas Women are the gatekeepers of sex.
Men are the gatekeepers of commitment.
Are women prioritizing emotional connection in hookups?
Time to divorce
@TheXMatriarch Passive and completely lacking confidence.
Years of criticism, never being able to do anything right, judgement constantly questioned and years of repeated rejection.
I am split in to 2 totally different people.
@TheXMatriarch I’ll be honest about what that dynamic has done to me.
At work, I am confident, charismatic, dynamic. I lead. I make tough decisions. I become the person people around have complete confidence and faith in.
At home, I am a shell, hollowed out. 1/n
@nytimes@nytopinion I suspect a “good” man is not going be found a at college frat house party where things like gangbangs happen. They’ll prob be in their dorm rooms studying or hanging with their buds. Only shady dudes will be at the frat party.
This isn’t rocket science.
@SaaSyy_CFO@TheJadedOne2021 My wife did a finance degree and I help her revise for her finals. She’s forgotten all of it but I remembered some.
That information has a market value. Men, previously lacking, now have access to information and it is guiding their decisions. It can’t be undone.
